They were concerned about putting sensitive information (password) inside the script, in order to connect to Gmail to send the mail notifications. I say that there is no need to use Gmail smtp services: to send mail *to* [EMAIL PROTECTED], you only have to connect to the right SMTP server for anywhere.com. The *from* email address is irrelevant and can even be faked. Of course a spam filter could block such mails, but you have to test it. -- Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!

Rather than "could block such mails" [sic], I'm fairly certain any respectable server would drop the mail. The prevalence of SPF and other assorted tools combat this, when used for malicious purposes. Sure, it's worth trying, but I doubt it will work. Good luck to them. ;-) Aidan Steele.
